All Hail Nate H


I'd like to take this moment to publicly commend my friend, Nate. He was on Tuesday's Jeopardy episode, officially becoming the first famous person I know. I haven't spoken to Nate in a while, but I'm absolutely certain he's still an amazing guy. Makes me really kind of wish I graduated in '07. But oh well. We were on two quiz bowl teams. One in '03, which gloriously went to Indianapolis. And another in '05 which was basically a catastrophe. But they were both terribly nerdy and amazing.

Even though he lost by a small margin, it's only because he was fucked by the double whammy of a ballet category (everyone knows ballet categories are only for idiots) and a pretty simple final jeopardy. Even so, Nate, tonight I raise my glass to you.

(Nate's the dude in the glasses in the far left and yes, there's a reason I edited my face out of the photo and yes, there's a reason none of us have pants on and yes, it has nothing to do with our sexuality, in an explicit sense.)
